From paper to 30,000 acre project

There was a man, a dreamer, like many of us, who got a great idea: To have a animated talking mouse. His name: Walt Disney. He was capable to transform a 2-D sketch into a 30,000 acre property.

What he was? A Leader. John Maxwell gave the best definition of a Leader. Some one capable to influence others and Disney was able to make other to believe that an animated mouse could be a great business.


I really believe that there is many people with great ideas all over the world, in fact, many conversation in starbucks, in the mall, in the park or at any meeting are talking about "Great Ideas". One of the most precious gifts God Give us is our brain, that besides to controll our body functions, allow us to generate "IDEAS". So what is the difference between a piece of paper with a mouse drawn and 30,000 acre project? Actions.




How many good ideas do you have in your mind? Get one, only one and make it happen. If not, is only a conversation theme for a cofee shop.

Few weeks ago, I was having a discussion with one of the leaders on the youth ministry at Flamingo Road Church about some technical difficulties we were experiencing during the broadcasting of our Student Service online, and I challenged him to fix the failures, so if he would complete the task with no errors, I will do my hair like him... (He had a Mohawk haircut with ...

Centenario de un fusilamiento

Hurgando en los anales históricos de nuestro país, logré encontrar un pequeño rastro que me condujo a conocer a todos los hermanos y hermana de mi abuelo Antonio, así como saber quienes fueron sus padres, o sea, ya logré llegar a conocer a mis bisabuelos Antonio y María! Pues resulta que Antonio y María procrearon 6 hijos, Ma. Esther, Antonio, Aureliano, David, Miguel y José Sabás... este último fue el fundador del periódico "Voz Del Norte" que se distribuia en Mocorito, Sinaloa. y que aparentemente sigue siendo publicado: Me encontré este artículo del tío Sabás: "¿Qué placer puede experimentar el que escribe un anó­nimo, con la intención dolosa de hacer daño? Si ahon­damos un poco, descubrimos con sorpresa que en un rincón de la vida hay monstruos que esgrimen esa arma para vengar agravios. Y si ahondamos más todavía, encontramos al hombre que va con su veneno manchando cuanto encuentra. Herir a mansalva es obra de pequeños, de insignificantes que nada son y que ...
